The education of Table Manners
Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to the “etiquette” education.Parents have attached greater importance to their children’s etiquette cultivation under the precondition of social stability and economic development. In the Chinese society, knowing and following the rules of etiquette demonstrate the level of a person’s education, and table manners constitute an integral part of these rules, as eating is what we must do every day.
From the ancient story of Kongrong sharing the pears to the etiquette in The Analects of Confucius, people have been accustomed to resorting to tradition to tell children the importance of “etiquette” and show them what correct etiquette should be. Studying the traditional culture can enable people to remain modest and find the origin of themselves in this rapidly-changing era.
